Irish Wrestler........

[beowulf]

Paddy, a big rough farmer from Donegal was selected for the Irish

wrestling

team in the Olympics. He got through to the finals, but to get the gold

medal, he had to beat the Russian champion.

Just before the final match, the Irish trainer Seamus O'leary came to him

and said 'Now Paddy, don't forget all the research we've done on this

Russian. He's pretty damm good, never lost a match, but if you keep your

head, I think you could beat him.

Just one thing, for god's sake don't let him get yeh in his "pretzel"

hold. For if he does, you're done! Am telling yeh, whatever you do, don't

let him get you in that pretzel hold!

"Right", says Paddy,.. "sure, I've a hold or two myself".

The match started, Paddy and the big Russian circled each other a

couple of times, looking for an opening. All of a sudden, the Russian

lunged forward, grabbed Paddy and wrapped him up in the dreaded pretzel

hold.

A sigh of disappointment arose from the crowd and Seamus the trainer says

"ah jezus" and buried his face in his hands, for he knew all was lost. He

couldn't watch the inevitable happen.

Suddenly, there was a long, high pitched scream, then an almighty cheer

from the crowd, and the trainer raised his eyes just in time to watch the

Russian go flying up in the air.

His back hit the mat with a thud and Paddy jumped on top of him, making

the pin and winning the match. The trainer was astounded.

Later, when Paddy was getting ready to receive the gold medal, he asked

'How did you ever getout of that hold? 'Nobody has ever done it before!'

Paddy answered

'Well, I was ready to give up when he got me in that hold, but at the last

moment, I opened me eyes and saw this pair of testicles right in front of

me face. I had nothing to lose, so with the help ofgod and me last ounce

of strength, I stretched out me neck and bit those babies just as hard as I

could.'

The trainer exclaimed 'was that's what finished him off?' "Not

exactly", says Paddy. "You'd be amazed how strong you get when you bite

your own nuts"
